6) French Bread Sandwiches: Slice a loaf of French Bread, spread bread lightly with butter and sprinkle garlic powder over the bread. Top with fixings (see below). Close the sandwich, wrap in tinfoil and bake in the oven for 10-20 minutes, until sandwich is warm and cheese is melty.

7) Flavored Grilled Cheese: Melt butter and add seasonings to the butter. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the butter over the bread of your choosing (we often use wheat or french for this) and top with cheese.

Our "perfect" grilled cheese tip... layer the cheese over one slice of bread and microwave the bread to melt the cheese just a little bit (ours averages about 10-15 seconds). Then, top with the other piece of bread. The cheese is melty enough so that the other slice of bread sticks to it (no sandwiches falling apart in the pan), and then the cheese melts perfectly as the bread gets toasty :)

When cooking, please make sure to follow kitchen hygiene and safety -- cook meat until internal temperature is at safe levels, always check labels for allergens, and use caution in the kitchen -- I love sharing recipes, but I am not liable for damages done as a result of trying these recipes.
